Application Note Educates on How to Minimize Draw Wire Transducer Error

Error Categories Are Assessed to Document Product Performance

CREEDMOOR, NORTH CAROLINA USA -- Engineers can now learn how to produce data that is as accurate as possible with Firstmark Controls's new application note discussing accuracy and precision for draw wire transducers. The application note covers the different ways error can affect sensor data, along with descriptions of specific design features inherent within Firstmark Controls draw wire transducers for minimizing error. The illustrated 7-page Application Note on Draw Wire Transducer Accuracy is available at no cost to readers via the Firstmark Controls website. The document's general review of mechanical and electrical error and sensor-specific functionality provides useful information for engineering and technical audiences. The Application Note for Draw Wire Transducer Accuracy includes:

• A definition of error, precision, and accuracy
• An overview of draw wire transducers
• Types of error affecting sensors, including methods to compensate for repeatable error
• Draw wire transducer calibration
• Specific Firstmark Controls design features to minimize error

The Application Note presents error types by category, such as electrical, mechanical, repeatable, and non-repeatable. Errors are documented through equations, figures, and descriptions. In addition, the document contains links to additional resources for readers wanting to know more about accuracy and error, including error calculators, sensor data sheets, and a complete bibliography. Readers will ultimately walk away with basic knowledge of why the difference between accuracy and precision is critical to data collection, and which types of error are relevant to draw wire transducer applications.

The application note makes the information easily accessible to the general audience by establishing top-level theories and information before exploring specific error types. The information contained in the Application Note for Draw Wire Transducer Accuracy can be applied to a variety of sensors such as Firstmark Controls's series of draw wire transducers.

The Application Note is available for free on Firstmark Controls's website. Media interested in publishing the application note can contact Firstmark Controls for more information.
